Lunch: Egg, Frisee, and Caramelized Onion Sandwich
We love brunch. Other than the fig jam (Eric hates jam/jelly) I thought this recipe would be great for a Sunday brunch. I attempted to hide the jam from him. I basically didn’t tell him it was in there and tried to overcompensate with a delicious brioche from Macrena bakery. It worked at first, until I couldn’t contain my curiosity and asked if he knew what the taste was. He said he could taste some kind of jam that was too sweet but it was fine.
The process for cooking the onions and the eggs were fun and both things I had never tried.
Things I learned from this recipe:
I’d like to find a better recipe for caramelized onions.
Would I make this recipe again?:
In a heartbeat.
The recipe
Dinner: Cod with Marinated Tomatoes, Polenta and Sautéed Spinach
After searching online for what “cooked polenta” really means, I found everyone raving about the Trader Joe’s version. I was dubious of the sausage-like packaging. I thought it was fascinating how much they shrunk while cooking. They lack taste on their own, but really went well with the rest of the meal.
Things learned from this recipe:
The tomatoes and their marinade were the highlight.
Would I make it again?:
Probably.
